Neil Gaiman's panel description asked for an incredible library, "If librarian's had a magazine, this would be their centerfold."
I must have done twenty thumbnail sketches, trying to come up with a layout that would work. I still don't know if I succeeded but here it is.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI'm a librarian and I must say that's a incredible piece of art. I really love that page.
I'm a librarian and I must say librarians have plenty of magazines. Gaiman, you ignoramus!
ReplyDeleteyou're a machine, aren't you? only a machine could do that.....
ReplyDeletepeace out
It has a similar vertiginous effect to that scene in Monsters Inc. when you see all the doors.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense. I was still a vertigin when I drew it.
ReplyDeleteWow!Wow!Wow!!!Whole lotta books here.
ReplyDeleteHow long did you take to do the little books there?
Great page anyway, really cool perspective and yeah like the fella there said, there's indeed a vertiginous effect.
KN FTW!o/

How long did the books take? Too long... probably a day or more.

ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteWas that colored with Dr. Marten's or in photoshop? Either way it was probably nightmarish, but the books are giving me flatting anxiety.
ReplyDeleteWere they all done the same color?
I keep thinking about it and now I'm having amberlith anxiety. It's worse.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how it was colored. It seems a little early for Photoshop but it might have been. My copy of the book isn't handy but I don't remember them being colored all the same. There was probably some variety.
ReplyDeleteI'd spent months in that library...
ReplyDeleteSuperb work of art......no word to explain.....these master pieces....view points of artist is awesome and presentation is also good....

Have you ever considered reproducing the panel as a frameable lithograph for sale? There are a lot of people I would think that would love a copy of it.
